I don't want to spend my life in my 40s feeling bad about being in my 40s, and then all of a sudden I'm 50, and I will have missed a whole decade!
I ended up becoming so self-conscious that my songs stopped being about my life and started being about what people thought of my music. And that was really bad.
All my life I've had a weight problem. As a child, I loved to eat. I would hide from my mother and drink whole cans of condensed milk in my room.
I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.
My life would have been different without Paul Stanley or Ace Frehley. They would have to be the greatest on my list as an influence to my life at 11 years old.
My life had no meaning at all. I found only brief interludes of satisfaction. It was like my whole life had been about my whole basketball career.
I was in my mid 20s when email finally took off. Until then, the phone was my primary way of connecting with the people in my life.
No week is ever the same in my world! An average week in my life changes based on my shooting schedule, if I'm promoting a project, or anything else I have going on.
I've never been very cookie cutter. If I choose something different from the status quo, it's my responsibility and my choice to live my life that way.
But again, I put in my time with Marvel and DC so there was that period of my life of trying to learn how to draw and tell stories in a proper fashion.
In terms of people that I know, my grandmother and my mother are huge influences on my writing life because they are both massively supportive and always have been of my career.
I have obsessed about my weight in some sort of way all my life. I used to write in my journal what I weighed every day.
Part of my life is spent designing in urban centers, and part of my life has been spent in factories. But the other part of my life is spent in nature.
My longing to improve my looks via The Body Shop is being replaced by my longing to improve my looks via Photoshop.
Here among my books, my wife, my friends and my loves, I have plenty of reasons to keep living.
My lips are fierce with passion. My heart spins fiery beats. A rhythm lives within my fingers and dances in my feet.
My mum's advice is never to whine to my friends, so they never see the other side of me. I save all my problems for my mother.
I am light. I am not my age, I am not my race; my soul inside is all light. I am light.
With my love I will touch you. With my love I will heal you. With my love I will surround you. With my love I will melt you.
Every one of my products - my lingerie, my perfume, and everything that I do beauty-related with regard to building my burlesque shows - is just me.
Writing is my joy, is my comfort zone, it strengthens my feeble knees and it frees my troubled heart.
